The Senate resolution expresses a strong commitment to eliminating all roadway fatalities in the United States by the year 2050. It highlights the severe impact of traffic crashes, noting that tens of thousands of lives are lost annually, with many deaths attributed to factors like alcohol-impaired driving, distracted driving, and speeding. The resolution also points out the disproportionate risks faced by pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, and the significant economic and social costs associated with these preventable incidents. To achieve its ambitious goal, the resolution calls upon Congress and the Department of Transportation to work collaboratively on advancing policies and implementing effective interventions. Key provisions include improving data gathering and tracking of traffic crashes, prioritizing proven countermeasures, and adopting a comprehensive safe systems approach to transportation. Furthermore, it supports efforts to address transportation safety disparities and encourages the use of the term "crash" instead of "accident" by federal agencies.
